Keeping the Spider Plant inside During Winter

Remember the post last Summer about my Trumpet plant and how I learned we should keep our tropical plants in basins filled with aquarium or small pea-size gravel and water from the bottom?.....well I used this same method on my houseplants when I brought them inside for the Winter........

I've never had my houseplants look so pretty and healthy.I Have a Mother-in-law's plant and and a purple Philodendron that are as pretty and healthy as this fern and spider plant. I don't let them set in water. I give them enough water to cover the gravel and when the top of the soil in the pot is dry then I water. I add 1 Tbs. of Epsom Salt to a gallon of water once a month and the Spider Plant sets in a Western window, while the fern gets Southern sunlight.

***the blank tag on the fern is waiting for someone to help me find some of you "plant experts" tell me what it is called.

Here's the fern last Summer, you can see how much it's grown since it came inside
